That is an *admin-istrator* interface. A serious disadvantage of getting rid of the sha1 field is that then you couldn't save and restore it around a temporary password change to allow you to become a user in order to see a problem he's having without him having to tell you his password.
You are perfectly welcome to have a view for editing profiles that isn't part of the admin app, where you could have whatever password management option you want, but the admin stuff just uses basic django model capability to display that box.
